Quote by Edith Sitwell

The living blind and seeing Dead together lie As if in love... There was no more hating then, And no more love; Gone is the heart of Man.

The living blind and seeing Dead together lie As if in love.

Summary

This quote portrays a somber and desolate perspective on humanity's state. It suggests that in death, both the blind and those who can see are equal, lying side by side with no discrimination. During this moment, there seems to be an absence of both love and hatred, indicating a sense of emptiness and loss. The phrase "Gone is the heart of Man" implies that humanity has lost something vital and essential, possibly alluding to the spiritual and emotional depth that humans once possessed.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
